The 2.35:1 VC-1 encoded 1080P picture is perfect in every category that I look at in grading a HD DVD. Black levels, check, rock solid for that matter. Fine Detail, check, you can see the individual hairs on Kong move independently. [..] Color saturation, check, the colors presented look so saturated, almost to the point of looking animated. The yellow cabs of New York just jump off of the screen and the lush greens of Skull Island gives the impression that you are looking out your window into a tropical garden.
